Micah,
Worked perfect. Thanks for the help.
Is there a section of the wiki for troubleshooting compiles that
I just can't find? Should this information be recorded someplace
besides the mailing list archive? I'd be happy to add it.
Scott

Hi Scott. Your mailer formats the plaintext portion of your mails rather
attrociously, you might look to that.
That message indicates that Wget passed strdup() an empty string (a
1-element char array consisting of just a zero-value byte). AIX is wrong
to fail in such a case: it's still useful to be able to duplicate such
strings.
You should be able to work around this by ensuring that config.h (which
is generated by the configure script) does not define HAVE_STRDUP; this
will cause Wget to use it's built-in strdup-alike behavior, thus
avoiding AIX's bug.
Please let us know if that fixes your problem.
